Granite cabinetry is used for kitchen and bathrooms. It can be found in antique stores, with dealers who buy directly from manufacturers, and at antique stores that are open to the public. You can find colors such as Beige, Lavender, Blue, White, and other colors as well as patterns including blue, brown, tan, red, and more.
Stone gable granite is used for countertops and stairs. It is smooth, very durable, and can be refinished and sealed to blend in with the wall color of your home. The bathroom countertop should be installed with granite tiles that match the granite tile in the bathroom shower, vanity, and tub.
Kitchen cabinetry uses stone countertops. Both countertops and cabinetry made of granite can have oil rubbed in to help eliminate stains, because of its slip-resistant properties. Kitchen cabinetry is normally made of laminate, stainless steel, and wood, with a glass front and backsplash. To make sure you are getting quality products, check the manufacturers' recommended use time, along with dimensions and construction information.
The most important aspect of a granite countertop is proper maintenance. You should follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to clean the countertop. Use a mild detergent in hot water to remove stains and fingerprints. Never use vinegar or ammonia, because they will damage the surface.

Stain resistant sealers are available that are designed to withstand chemicals. They will not discolor the surface of the granite or cause the tiles to chip or crack. A clean ceramic mop is a must-have at all times when you install cabinetry made of granite, because ceramic cleaners will damage the surface.
